In honour of 1989 Taylor’s Version being Taylor’s latest re-recorded album and in true Sims Community fashion, we wanted to create a new Sims 4 Taylor Swift lookbook to commemorate the launch!
If you have followed Sims Community for a while, you will know that this isn’t the first time Taylor Swift has inspired us. Our previous content focused on both RED (Taylor’s Version) and Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) and the Henford-on-Bagley Playlist inspired by Evermore. You could say that the Sims Community team are well and truly Swifties!

The Lookbook (Taylor’s Version)
As Swifties ourselves, we couldn’t create a The Sims 4 Taylor Swift challenge and not make a few looks inspired by the album. Between SnarkyWitch and I, we have each picked two songs and got creative with our looks!
Each of the looks we’ve created for this Sims 4 Taylor Swift challenge is Custom Content free and uses a variety of options available in-game. Full details of each look can be found under each look!
Heaven and Sin
“Oh my God, look at that face. You look like my next mistake. Love’s a game. Wanna play?”
Blank Space is the story of a jealous woman who seems like a daydream for a month… until her nasty temper turns the fantasy into a nightmare. This music video had so many iconic looks that it was hard to pick one but in the end, I decided to recreate Taylor’s horseback riding outfit. It’s such elevated simplicity, elegant, and speaks to my inner horse girl.
- Hair: Messy Curly Bun (Eco Lifestyle)
- Top: Loose Fitted V-Neck Sweater (Moonlight Chic)
- Bottom: Button-Up Fitted Breeches (Realm of Magic)
- Shoes: Knee-High English Riding Boots (Horse Ranch)

This Sick Beat
“I’m dancing on my own. I make the rules up as I go. And that’s what they don’t know.”
Shake It Off holds a special place in my heart because it came out at a good time in my life. I’d just started a new relationship, I was working on things I was passionate about and Shake It Off just felt like the perfect soundtrack for all of that; shaking off the hard times of the past and looking forward to the future. Even though that relationship ultimately ended and my other passions went in a different direction, Shake It Off still brings back all those positive, hopeful feelings. Of course, I had to recreate one of my favourite looks from that video!
- Hair: High Ponytail (Spa Day)
- Top: Half-Sleeved Windbreaker (Growing Together)
- Bottom: Distressed Faded Denim Shorts (Bowling Night)
- Shoes: Lace-Up Sneakers (Incheon Arrivals)
- Accessories: Earrings (Base Game) / Necklace (Get Famous) / Bracelets (Luxury Party & Get Together) / Socks (High School Years)
- Makeup: Eyeshadow, Eyeliner, Blush, and Lipstick (Base Game)
Now You Say You Want It Back
“People like you always want back the love they gave away”
All You Had To Do Is Stay can be interpreted in so many different ways. For me, I had the image of a Sim finally being free from a relationship before the other person realised their mistake. They would be walking through town singing the lyrics to the song wearing their favourite outfit and making heads turn in the process. I chose to create this outfit using colours featured in the new artwork to really bring the look to life. In fact, it came together much better than I expected!
- Hair: Shaggy Wolfcut (Werewolves)
- Top: Layered Cropped Blazer (Incheon Arrivals)
- Skirt: Pleated Skirt (High School Years)
- Shoes: Woven Wedges (Cottage Living)
- Accessories: Crescent Necklace and single Decorative Rings (Werewolves)
- Makeup: Eyeshadow ( Base Game x MAC), Eyeliner (High School Years), Lipstick (Base Game x MAC), Nails (Base Game)
Now We Got Problems
“Did you have to ruin what was shiny, now it’s all rusted”
As soon as I decided to create a look for Bad Blood, I knew it would be something that gave off a similar vibe to that of the music video. It gives a don’t mess with this Sim impression and that this Sim means business when on a mission. Definitely a Sim I wouldn’t want to cross in a bad mood!
- Hair: Twin Braids with Bangs (Snowy Escape)
- Top: Mesh Long Sleeve (High School Years)
- Bottoms: Camo Cargos (Moonlight Chic)
- Shoes: Laced Up Military Boots (Werewolves)
